BP to cut 540 upstream jobs

摘要

UK major BP plans to cut around 540 people from its upstream business as it looks to trim the work force in this area by 3%. BP’s upstream segment accounts for around 18,000 people around the world and the cuts will be in a global context. The major noted that the majority of the job cuts would be “realised through natural attrition” but did not give exact figures for regions. “BP has informed staff of planned organisational changes in its upstream business regions worldwide, aimed at further improving the efficiency and competitiveness of its organisation,” the operator said.
